How can you be a witch.

By doing witch shit

Me praying to the gods: I drank water all day today are you proud of me?

Me, a witch: be careful with magick. It will fuck you up.

Also me, a witch: fucking light that shit on fire. Throw some herbs in that. I don't give a fuck.

Me again, a witch: but like carefully. Idk throw some wards up. It'll probably be fine.

Every Greek or Roman god you were probably told was bad are usually misrepresented concepts at worst and actually good at best and people say shit off of poor research and the ability to rely on archetypes and the reverse is true for the gods you were told are good

sometimes self care is saying “this is stupid” and closing the tab

I see a lot of people saying that new witches shouldn’t practice magic until they’ve researched like E V E R Y T H I N G

And I get the idea? I get it? Like, yeah, research your herbs to make sure nothing’s gonna fuck with your medications, your crystals to make sure they’re not gonna dissolve or hurt you, your essential oils to make sure you’re not gonna hurt yourself or your kids or pets. That’s basic safety, and you should definitely do that.

But I don’t really jive with the notion of “you have to have thoroughly researched and memorized every possible correspondence and history of every single item you use in your craft” because like… if I wait to be an expert, then I’ll never do anything?

Weirdly enough… I think of it like Mythbusters.

You do your research, make sure you’re not gonna blow yourself up, you make sure you’ve got proper protective equipment and a fire extinguisher… and then you do stuff. You can read about this stuff all day long, but eventually you just gotta strap some rockets to a car to see what happens.

If it doesn’t work? Cool. Failure is always an option. You learn from what you did. And maybe you do a ‘revisit’ and try it again differently later on down the road when you’ve learned some more.

Failure is always an option.

The only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

If you can’t replicate the myth as it’s told, try to replicate the result.

When in doubt… C4.

(Don’t… don’t actually do that last one.)

Also there’s a big safety difference between putting out a crystal grid or wearing a stone in jewelry, vs. consuming gem elixirs or putting stones into your orifices. Between putting herbs into a spell jar or setting them out on an altar, vs. making a tea potion or burning them and breathing the smoke. It’s ok to incorporate common sense into your determination of “is this a safe thing to do”.
